   I'm having a weird problem with a menu I'm adding to the administration interface.

   I keep getting an unwanted sub menu item.
   I have the follwoing code:

   add_action('admin_menu', 'sl_menu');
   
   function sl_menu()
   {
     if (function_exists('add_menu_page')) {
   		add_menu_page('Menu title','Menu title', 'manage_options', 'my-pluging-folder/my_plugin.php', '', '');
   	}
   	if (function_exists('add_submenu_page')) {
   		add_submenu_page('my-pluging-folder/my_plugin.php', 'Sub menu title', 'Sub menu title', 'manage_options', 'my-pluging-folder/some_file.php');
     }
   }

   The result is:
   Menu Tile
   - Menu Title
   - Sub menu title

   As you can see, the main page / menu tile is also shown as a sub menu item.

   Why is that?

   If I take "the same" code from Lester Chans plugin 'wp-polls', I only get the main menu item + one sub menu item:

   ### Function: Poll Administration Menu
   add_action('admin_menu', 'poll_menu');
   function poll_menu() {
   	if (function_exists('add_menu_page')) {
   		add_menu_page(__('Polls', 'wp-polls'), __('Polls', 'wp-polls'), 'manage_polls', 'wp-polls/polls-manager.php', '', plugins_url('wp-polls/images/poll.png'));
   	}
   	if (function_exists('add_submenu_page')) {
   		add_submenu_page('wp-polls/polls-manager.php', __('Manage Polls', 'wp-polls'), __('Manage Polls', 'wp-polls'), 'manage_polls', 'wp-polls/polls-manager.php');
   	}
   }

   Now, why does this work?

   Search before you post! This is a very common problem. Could have saved yourself 2 weeks if you had done a quick search on these forums!

   If this forum had a good search engine, I would probably have found the solution long time ago. Posting here is alwyas my last resort.

   Thanks for the link.

   So the solution from the link is:

   Wrong:
   

   add_menu_page('Section', 'Section', 10, __FILE__, 'section');
   add_submenu_page(__FILE__, 'Edit', 'Edit', 10, 'section-edit', 'section_edit');

   Correct:
   

   add_menu_page('Section', 'Section', 10, __FILE__, 'section');
   add_submenu_page(__FILE__, 'Edit', 'Edit', 10, __FILE__, 'section_edit');
